Repurposed Seatbelts Surprisingly Stylish
May 17, 2009 · Print This Article
They’re virtually indestructible, built to resist everything from water to UV rays and have the shimmery look of satin. Yet, the materials used to create Interrobang’s stylish range of accessories aren’t some new high-tech creation: they’re seatbelts, collected from junked cars and recycling centers.
Charcoal gray with a pinstriped look and modern shapes, Interrobang’s seat belt accessories include laptop bags, messenger bags, wallets, zipper pouches and day bags. This Sydney, Australia-based Etsy shop also creates bags made from recycled billboard vinyl.
Props to Interrobang for coming up with such an awesome way of upcycling a material that still has many years of usefulness ahead of it.
